Wi-Fi Capability Added to CheckPoint Wireless Temps Monitoring System

Emeryville CA, USA –?? Tempsys has announced that its temperature monitoring system now features Wi-Fi capable sensors supporting 802.11 b/g and WEP, WPA and WPA2 encryption.

Hospitals, laboratories, and pharmaceutical companies will now have several options for setting up their CheckPoint Wireless network, including:

Sensors that use Wi-Fi radios to communicate directly to the facility’s Wi-Fi network

Sensors that communicate with a distributed antenna system, such as MobileAccess

A system using a separate 900 MHz wireless repeater/access point network to connect through a hard-wired LAN

??A hybrid system utilizing both Wi-Fi and hard-wired LAN, useful to connect remote or satellite locations which may not have a Wi-Fi network.

“This new sensor capability allows companies to leverage the investment in their current IT infrastructure, making it easier and more cost effective to deploy a wireless temperature monitoring system,” said Bob Yuan, CEO of Tempsys.

“This option is a faster and less expensive deployment choice since it makes use of already deployed Wi-Fi access points and does not require new cabling, power outlets, nor CheckPoint infrastructure such as repeaters and access points.”

The Wi-Fi capability has been added to all CheckPoint Wireless temperature sensors which already include replaceable probes with NIST traceable certificates of calibration and the ability to monitor door open/close status or dry contact status.

Sensors that have been updated with Wi-Fi include:

Glycol and air sensors for refrigerators and freezers

Dual probes for one sensor to simultaneously monitor two sections of a refrigerator, such as for a blood bank

A single sensor to monitor CO2, temperature, and dry contact simultaneously

Oxygen-level monitoring

Dual probes to monitor two levels in a liquid nitrogen freezer

Leak detection monitoring

Particle count monitoring

Differential air pressure monitoring

The CheckPoint Temperature Monitoring System continuously monitors temperature-sensitive equipment throughout the hospital, from the blood bank to the pharmacy, medication and food refrigerators at nurse stations to research laboratories.
